Mmm… this stuff is addictive! It’s very tempting for me to brew a lot of this at a time, but I’ve been holding back and just doing 3 oz. cups because they turn out so well and force to me to cherish each sip.
This tea reminds me so vividly of the sea and salty waters. It’s the first thing I noticed. Surprisingly enough, the saltiness of it is a rather interesting aspect to the tea and not weird at all like you would imagine (no yucky salt water here). Like other reviewers have noted, it definitely does have a bitter aftertaste to it, but a little bitterness isn’t something that bothers me. I can get two very good infusions and somewhat weak third infusion out of it.

Love the depth of flavors in this unassuming tea — I have a packet in the freezer for when I run low on asamushi senchas. Brews two darn fine cups!

I’ve gotten this tea from the Tao of Tea and its amazingly wonderful…also is wonderful on salmon as a ‘spice’
